We have defined and chosen a large set of colors suitable for 3D printing. In the mean time, the color of the material keep strictly consistent.

The Difference Between the PLA and ABS

When printing PLA smell of cotton candy smell ( odor sensitive to this cautious buying ) , unlike the ABS as the pungent smell bad child .PLA can print large part model in the case without heating the bed corners will not tilt.PLA having a low shrinkage , even when printing a large size model also performed wellPLA has a low melt strength , easier shaping print model , excellent surface gloss , colorful.

Differences between the PLA and ABS :

Crystalline PLA , ABS is a non- crystalline .

When heated slowly converted gel liquid ABS : without state change.

PLA as frozen water on the other hand , directly from the solid to the liquid in one step .

ABS ( not required phase change ) become more liquidity to further fill the barrel.

Because there is no phase transition , ABS does not suck nozzle heat.

Part of the PLA, the risk of phase change cooling nozzle , so that the risk of greater blockage .

The main advantage of polylactic acid has the following aspects :( 1 ) polylactic acid (PLA) is a novel biodegradable material, a plant resources ( such as corn ) proposed the use of renewable raw starch .( 2 ) good mechanical properties and physical properties. Polylactic acid suitable for blow molding, thermoplastic and other processing methods , processing convenience , is widely used.( 3 ) compatibility with biodegradable good. Polylactic acid in the field of medicine is also widely used , such as to produce a one-time infusion equipment, free split -type surgical sutures and other low molecular weight polylactic acid packaging for drug delivery agents .( 4 ) polylactic acid (PLA) biodegradable plastics in addition to the basic features , but also has its own unique characteristics. Traditional biodegradable plastic strength, transparency and resistance to climate change are not as good as ordinary plastic .( 5 ) similar basic physical properties of polylactic acid (PLA) plastics and petrochemical synthesis , that is, it can be widely used to manufacture a variety of applications. Polylactic acid also has good gloss and transparency , and the use of polystyrene film is quite prepared , other biodegradable products are not available .( 6 ) Polylactic acid (PLA) has good tensile strength and the elongation , the polylactic acid can produce a variety of common processing methods , for example: melt extrusion molding , injection molding, blown film molding, foam molding and vacuum forming , the polymers are widely used at present have similar forming conditions , in addition it is also the same as a conventional film printing performance .( 7 ) The polylactic acid (PLA) film has good air permeability, permeability and oxygen permeability of the two carbon dioxide , it also has the isolation characteristic odor . Viruses and molds attached easily biodegradable plastic surface , the safety and health concerns , however, the polylactic acid having excellent antibacterial unique biological and anti-mold properties of biodegradable plastics .( 8 ) When the incineration of polylactic acid (PLA) , its heat of combustion and incineration same paper is incinerated half of traditional plastic ( eg polyethylene ) , and the incineration of polylactic acid will not release nitrides, sulfides and other toxic gases.

How to determine the material is PLA or ABS?

A: On the surface it is difficult to judge, comparative observation was matt ABS , and PLA is very bright . Was heated to 195 degrees , PLA extruded smoothly , ABS can not. Heated to 240 degrees , ABS can smooth out , PLA muster bubbles appear , and even carbonation, carbonation will block the nozzle , very dangerous
